Sage advice

I have just started reading Lion and Lamb by James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski. "Veena Lion and Cooper Lamb are rival PIs in Philadelphia in this fun ride…the romance between Cooper and Veena is artfully handled...endearing characters including Cooper's two preternaturally clever kids and his Rhodesian ridgeback puppy.” �"Publishers Weekly
​“Great storytelling…a spectacular murder case.” �"Kirkus, starred review
Quite enjoyable.

Listening to Slow Horses by Mick Herron. There's a character named Lamb in this one, too.
"Slough House is a dumping ground for members of the intelligence service who've screwed up: left a secret file on a train, blown a surveillance, or become drunkenly unreliable. They're the service's poor relations -- the slow horses -- and bitterest among them is River Cartwright, whose days are spent transcribing mobile phone conversations. But when a young man is abducted, and it's threatened that he'll be beheaded live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself. As the clock ticks on the execution, River finds that everyone involved has their own agenda."
Lots of amusing snark.

Well, it's snowmageddon here now. Haven't seen the sun for days. Temps running 20 degrees below average. My catio, which is mostly enclosed, is full of snow from the constantly changing, howling winds. My poor kitties keep scratching at the door, letting me know they want to go out. So, I open the door and give them about 5 minutes and they are more than ready to come back in. Glad I've got a lot of books. Hope you do too. Stay safe. And warm.
